Seedorf wants a “solid defence” against Athletic and “be dangerous in attack”
Clarence Seedorf stated in Abegondo’s press room that against Athletic Club in San Mames tomorrow (8:45 pm, Bein LaLiga), Dépor must maintain a “solid defence. Have quality to play vertically and be dangerous in attack.”
The Dutch coach explained that Sidnei was dropped due to “nothing more than precaution. He’s not injured but he has a high risk of getting injured.”
Regarding Athletic, he said that they are “a rival that’s always dangerous at home. Since I know them, it’s very difficult to play there.”
Asked about the tension of having to play a decisive match every week, Seedorf assured that it is more “on the outside than on the inside. We live each game objectively and calmly. We activate the mechanisms in order to get to the match with just the right tension. Having won at home helps in this aspect, even though the pressure is going to continue. We haven’t achieved the objective yet.”
